PIGture of the Week: A summer devoted to pigs

Pigs make the summer full of memories. For some, they are making quite a few.

Emily Montgomery shared a PIGture with her crossbred barrow, Chance. Emily spent the summer showing on the Missouri Youth Show Pig Circuit and will be headed to the Missouri State Fair next month.

She has also been busy this summer as one of the 2015 Missouri Pork Association Youth Pork Ambassadors. As an ambassador, Emily helps promote the Missouri Pork Association and the pork industry at various events.

Thanks for the PIGture, Emily. Good luck at the fair and have a great summer!
